People haven't always been there for me, but music always has.

We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say — and to feel — 'Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it.'

It's not the absence of fear. It's overcoming it. Sometimes you've got to blast through and have faith.
